The Hard Way

I hear every word they say, they tell me to stay away
They say I'm better off without you, baby
You've caused me nothing but pain, heartache's your middle name
But it seems I never see it coming
I'll just admit it baby, you really drive me crazy
Let go of my heart
'Cause every time you're near me
I can't think clearly
Defenses fall apart
I keep livin' and lovin' and learnin' the hard way
You're the hardest lesson, baby, of my life
I keep livin' and lovin' and learnin' the hard way
Someday baby, I will get it right
I never will understand, why I let you think you can
Treat me any way you please, baby
I guess I hope someday, you'll settle down and say
Give me all the love I need, baby
Time and time I've found, you always let me down
Always ends the same way
You'd think that I could see, the way you're treatin' me
Won't ever change
I keep livin' and lovin' and learnin' the hard way
You're the hardest lesson, baby, of my life
I keep livin' and lovin' and learnin' the hard way
Someday baby, I will get it right
If I could just hold on, if I could just be strong
My heart would see it's wrong, lovin' you, lovin' you
I keep livin' and lovin' and learnin' the hard way
You're the hardest lesson, baby, of my life
I keep livin' and lovin' and learnin' the hard way
Someday baby, I will get it right
Livin' and lovin' the hard way
You're the hardest lesson, oh baby, of my life
Livin' and lovin' and learnin' the hard way
Someday baby, I will get it right
